January US egg exports increase 45%

Shipments to Japan and Mexico fall, but EU and Canada markets grow

According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Foreign Agricultural Service, exports of shell eggs in January 2010 were 3.8 million dozen, 45% higher than in January 2009.

They were valued at $3.07M (or about 80.3 cents per dozen). Sales of egg products approached 49 million, an increase of 9% over January 2009. Shipments to Japan and Mexico fell by almost 40%, but a marked increase in shipments to Canada and the European Union compensated for these losses.
